When not using the complete path and using pause it just say:
'sgminer.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
absolutely the same massage I received when for the first time started the bat file
it was because my Kasperski deleted the sgminer.exe
I added the folder in Kasperski exceptions
place another fresh copy of the miner in the folder - and it was OK
I did, i even uninstalled the antivirus completely, no changes
i also downloaded everything again without antivirus, no changes.
If you run your bat as administrator (or is marked to run as administrator) then commands inside bat is not point in your current folder.
I already tried as admin. Path is correct, tested differens paths also without path in the .bat
Tries all about thar
don't run as administrator, (or marked to run as administrator), if I run my mining .bat as administrator I have same problem like you. You copy file .bat from another computer or is created by you? If is downloaded or copied make a new .txt file put everiting inside and then rename to .bat
Already tested with and without admin.
Tested many .bat, created a lot own .bat
Edit:
windows reset is completed, i start the .bat (without any drivers installed) and i get a other message about the gpu settings (logical, drivers not installed) looks beter now, i am installing drivers and amd sdk now. keep u posted.
